**Campaign for President**

Students work collaboratively to create web pages for a fictional presidential candidate. They formulate a campaign using Google Apps, Web 2.0 Tools and other available media sources. The web pages include the candidate’s biography, photos, party affiliation, campaign issues, slogans, posters and campaign commercials. To enhance their campaign pages, students add animation, sound, uploaded music and video using applications such as: Animoto, Movie Makes, Photo Story, and Voice Thread. The students then present their candidates to an audience, answer questions based on their candidates then the audience will vote for their presidential choice. The votes are captured instantly using Poll Everywhere, the results are followed by a discussions of why people vote and the influence of public opinion polls.
